[Nin] Orientation - [Happy Medium]

[Never]

This is the beginning of your Orientation, I will to the best of my knowledge explain the Roleplay's in's and out's with you in a more intimate and less daunting manner. I aim to make this a comfortable transition for you and if you feel as though you're being overwhelmed please do see and I will adjust accordingly.

My Orientation will proceed in a RP and OOC combination as I believe RP in general is important so should be integrated in the training some way,but explaining the rules would be much clearer out of character. Please introduce yourself, if you have a Biography, post it and if not then you can introduce yourself with questions, concerns or anything about yourself.

If you don't really have any questions due to not knowing too much I'll post my Curriculum below to show what we can go through. It doesn't have to be in order if certain things pop out that you didn't know of before, please say you're more interested in learning that aspect of the Roleplay and we'll go through it first.

[Happy Medium]

I AM OVERWHELMED!

Just kidding, but that is a lot to cover. I do have a biography, one that I used for that chatroom I mentioned before. It's not done because I was remaking it, but I can still show you.

No need to break it to me, I know it'll take a long time before I can learn even half of the jutsu I have on that list. But as I've told you, I had this character in a previous chat, and they've been through a lot of development; they've mastered a bunch of techniques, and they're at least S-Rank in terms of ability. So that's the only reason why Itami has so many jutsu listed to begin with; Itami trained over time for everything he has. However, I don't have my hopes up. I'm ready to start from scratch; in fact, I want to. I'm going to start Itami out at age 12, his age will correspond with what progress we make as far as Katon training goes. I think he'd get along famously with Tasuke.


However, I have to go for a bit. So don't expect a reply for another hour or two. I hope you don't mind!


The Ninja World section looks interesting: maybe we can cover that first when I get back?

 

[Never]

You have a nicely developed Character here, I'm sure Tasuke would get along well with Itami too. You may have to tweak the history a bit if you want it suitable for the new Ninja World, but other than that you just gotta apply it to the bio template we use and you're good for approval. For the RP parts, we can use Itami for now even though he's not approved - this is training so I'm fine with that.

However before I go onto the Ninja World I will relieve you of your worries (or not). Because our RP system and teaching is very different from what it was and what your Chat System is by the looks of things. You will - and in quite a short time - easily surpass what Jutsu you have listed in that document.

Right you are an Academy Student. That means you know 2 of the Basic 5 Elements of your choice; the Basic Elements consist of Fire Release (Katon), Wind Release (Fuuton), Earth Release (Doton), Water Release (Suiton) and Lightning Release (Raiton). You also know one Basic Ninja Skill up to C-Rank as well which can be Ninja Arts (Ninjutsu), Body Arts (Taijutsu), Illusionary Arts (Genjutsu) or Sword Arts (Kenjutsu).

Thoughts? Any Questions so far?

 

[Happy Medium]

You also know one Basic Ninja Skill up to C-Rank as well which can be Ninja Arts (Ninjutsu), Body Arts (Taijutsu), Illusionary Arts (Genjutsu) or Sword Arts (Kenjutsu).

Can you tell me more about my options in regard to this?

Edit: Oh, never mind! I understand now. If I had to pick something, it'd be this:

Spoiler

(Chakra Henkanshi no Jutsu) - Chakra Sensing Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 15 (- 5 per turn)
Damage points: N/A
Description: This is a very advanced of advancing the ability to feel and sense chakra. The technique allows the user to concentrate and detect someone's chakra. Users can use this to determine the nature of a jutsu used as well as sense masses of chakra. The use of this can be compared to Sharingan's brutish level of sensory, able to sense collection of chakra but not the level of clarity and precision Byakugan has.
Note: Can only be used by bios with Sensory ability.
Note: After having on a bio for 1 month, users gain the ability to activate Sensory passively.

Aside from his abilities as a Katon specialist, his most defining attribute is his sensor-type skills. If you've ever watched One Piece, at Jōnin rank Itami uses Sensory Mode in a fashion akin to Observation Haki.

I'm thankful that it won't be as difficult as it once was to learn Ninjutsu remember, I have an alternate account that dates back to 2013, and I was involved in just a little role-play, so I can recall how strenuous those lessons used to be. I did like doing interactive role-plays with the Sensei though, they entertaining to say the least. If there's one thing I hope, it's that Itami Sarutobi isn't a Gary-Stu. I gave him such an all-around personality that makes it hard to hate him, and I noted that he was at the top of his class when it came to physical education and chakra control. Making him so physically adept implicates the idea that he's strong at Taijutsu, but also has a number of long range Ninjutsu techniques, giving him a very limited area of weak spots. However, I also gave him what I thought were realistic limits for both his personality and his combat abilities, stating that he can often be stubborn in his ideal, and has an attitude when his friends are mocked | made it so that he has limited versatility when in Sensory Mode.
But I have seen many original characters with much more dire drawbacks, and that worries me.​

Your Options in regards to Basic Ninja Skills or All Abilities in General? There are four "Basic Ninja Skills", anything outside of that category is either the Basic Elements or advanced abilities like Kekkei Genkei, Advanced Ninjutsu, Hidden Arts, Advanced Elements Etc.

The Four Basic Ninja Skills are:

Ninjutsu

Kenjutsu

When it says you know up to C-Rank of one of these arts it means you know all the Jutsu listed in the "C-Rank List" and all lower ranks as well, unless the Jutsu specifically states in the description or a note that it can "only be used by X bio" which means you need a certain character, KG or permission/ability/rank. (Kenjutsu List is not split up in seperate threads like this and also doesn't have a Method System as it has only just been recognised as a Basic Ninja Skill lmao).

As your rank increases, so does your knowledge of the Field. You also get to learn more fields as shown in the list in my previous post what you can know. Each Basic Ninja Skill now has a "Method System" which replaces the old school training of going through each technique's description to make training much faster and easily progressive, you can still ask a Sensei to go through Jutsu with you of course.

Don't worry too much about how your Character is built personality & history wise, it is very free with how you go about your character. But I can understand if you worry about your Bio being a "Gary-Stu" because that can become quite boring. My "Lena" biography is the one I RP with mostly, she is my dedicated Ninja World Biography and she has a lot of issues with herself, though she's still pretty strong when it comes to combat - a monster even at times, where she can accidentally push herself too far at points if she gets too emotional too (this leads to her holding back on purpose). She also is very attached to one section of the Ninja World, not straying too far from it, though she is starting to come out of her shell. Also when I use her in fights, I try and use Jutsu and Techniques that make sense to her and she prefers the most.

Well Actually, the Chakra Sensory Technique is bound to an ability called "Sensory" which in our RP counts as an Advanced Ninjutsu. The biography is limited to certain combinations of ability that you can have that can be found here :

You must be registered for see links

​

If you chose to have a Hidden Ability you'd be able to also have :​

One Advanced Ninjutsu and one Mode (any choice).​

​

Example: Hozuki + Sound + Sage Mode​

​

If you chose to have an Advanced Element you'd be able to also have :​

one Advanced Ninjutsu and one Mode (excluding Sage Mode)​

​

Example: Blast + Rain + EIG​

​

if you chose to have a Kekkei Genkai you'd be able to also have :​

one Advanced Ninjutsu and one Mode (excluding EIG)​

Mangekyou and higher Doujutsu bios cannot have Sage Mode.​

Example: MS Sharingan + Sound ​

​

IF you got accepted into a Custom Clans you'd be able to have :​

one Advanced Ninjutsu OR one Mode (not both). EIG can only be put on clan bios that don't use Natural energy.​

​

Example: Gyojin + EIG or a Kisei + SM​

​

Alternatively, if the user does not have a KG, KE, HA, or CC bio, he is able to have two Advanced Ninjutsu on one bio​

​

​

Dual Abilities:​

​

Spoiler

In addition to these primary combinations, there are additional pairings that have now become available to utilize. These pairings called Dual Abilities are the result of having two parents with different skills, both passed down to your biography. This allows bios to have a Kekkei Genkei as well as an Advanced Element, or a Hiden Ability paired with a Kekkei Genkei. Because of this powerful potential, having Dual Abilities prevents one from having any AN or Mode. There are three different type of Dual Abilities, each with this same restriction:​

​

KG + HA​

KG + AE​

AE + HA​

​

Due to the nature of the Doujutsu themselves, one cannot pair any Mangekyo or Higher level Sharingan with a HA/AE, nor can Tenseigan.​

​

​

We have this very useful Biography Chart that breaks down what each ability is classified as :

You must be registered for see links

So due to being an Advanced Ninjutsu you could pair Sensory with basically any KG, HA, or AE of your choice and then one Mode (which'll be restricted due to which main ability you pick). Does that help?

So can he have the ability called "Sensory" then?

Example: Hozuki + Sound + Sage Mode
Example: Blast + Rain + EIG


Example: MS Sharingan + Sound

Example: Gyojin + EIG or a Kisei + SM

Alternatively, if the user does not have a KG, KE, HA, or CC bio, he is able to have two Advanced Ninjutsu on one bio

KG + HA
KG + AE
AE + HA

Due to the nature of the Doujutsu themselves, one cannot pair any Mangekyo or Higher level Sharingan with a HA/AE, nor can Tenseigan.
​

These examples might be useful if I had any idea what those combinations meant especially the many acronyms you used. Is there some kind of acronym index I can use? It would really help newcomers. I thank you for being so informative, but I actually am starting to feel a little overwhelmed at the moment. Could we only address whatever needs to be addressed for my character when the time comes for it? For example, if I chose to have Kekkei Genkai then you could explain to me what you said in your last post about Kekkei Genkai. Otherwise, it feels kind of pointless to add them. But I guess now I can say I'm aware of my options pertaining to these...combinations...sorry, I'm just really not sure I understand the majority of what I just read :dunno:

I'm really sorry, but I can't even make sense of anything in that thread. I don't think I should be exposed to this kind of information at such a sensitive step in the orientation. Not to criticize you or anything, you're a great instructor. But most of the terms and stuff I'm still confused about for the time being, and if I can't understand I won't just brush it off and pretend like I do. I want to really form an understanding of everything being said to me, and that might mean breaking stuff down to simple terms, cause I can be slow most of the time :dunno:

So due to being an Advanced Ninjutsu you could pair Sensory with basically any KG, HA, or AE of your choice and then one Mode (which'll be restricted due to which main ability you pick). Does that help?

Okay, this much I understand...I think. I still don't know what the acronyms mean...

 

[Never]

Oh man I'm so sorry lmao.

Right I'll make an Index, I just assumed you'd know it being a Naruto Fan - But I understand that this kind of language has become more of a natural for me as part of the mechanics of the Roleplay. Right:

KG = Kekkei Genkei
AN = Advanced Ninjutsu
AE = Advanced Element
HA = Hidden Ability

SM = Sage Mode
EIG = Eight Inner Gates

CC = Custom Clan
MS = Mangekyo Sharingan

The Combinations allowed allude to these acronyms. Sorry for being confusing. The Bio Chart that I linked breaks down each of the abilities in the show into categories which are usually Kekkei Genkei and Advanced Ninjutsu and Hidden Abilities - ignore the rest for now.

You can have Sensory as well as a couple other abilities. Sensory is an Advanced Ninjutsu and can be paired with a couple of things as I explained above, but if you still don't know what you can have with what then I will have to go into. MAXIMUM OVERDETAIL.
